West Sale Migrant Memorial

The memorial commemorates the site of the immigration camp and the contribution that migrants and displaced persons have made to Australia and Gippsland.

The West Sale Migrant Holding Centre was located at the disused RAAF Base in Fulham between 1949 & 1953. It provided accommodation for women & children while their respective husbands worked & lived at work camp sites across Gippsland. Over 700 families displaced by the war in Europe called West Sale home.
